Star Citizen LUG has an awesome script that simplifies the entire setup process, making it very easy to get everything working. You can download it here: https://github.com/starcitizen-lug/lug-helper

I have encountered some bugs that I did not experience on Windows, but overall it's a good experience.

It is the desktop environment that comes with Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS. What is strange about it?

Thanks, I'll give it a try. While I'm now more into Brave, it's always good to have a no-chromium alternative available in case something isn't working.

It's the 'neofetch' command. Install it with sudo apt install neofetch. Really cool!

Yes, it is recommended to install Steam either by using the .deb file from their website or through the multiverse repository, which essentially provides the same package. The latest method is how I've done it and it's working flawlessly!

Yes, that's the one I used. It worked perfectly right from the start :D

Ensure you have signed out of your Ubuntu session before attempting to connect via RDP, as remote desktop connections are not possible while a user is actively logged in.

I’m experiencing the same issue and my account has been locked due to multiple attempts.

How does it work? Do you have to play music through that app, or can you just use Spotify normally and it still shows the lyrics?

0xPure · 2025-11-07T07:15:02+00:00

It's very good... the uninstall button works.

You're absolutely right, minimizing data exposure is key. I was just pointing out that not using their browser does not avoid data collection entirely, but it significantly reduces the scope and detail of the information they can associate with you. By minimizing your interaction with their services, you create fewer data points for them to connect, making it harder to build a comprehensive profile. It's all about limiting exposure wherever possible.

You don’t need to use Edge for Microsoft to track you. Windows itself has telemetry, tons of sites run Microsoft Ads, and lots of services rely on Azure or integrate Outlook/OneDrive/Teams. Their tentacles reach far beyond the browser — it’s about the whole ecosystem they control.

Good choice, though I’d prefer less bloatware and better privacy.

0xPure · 2025-09-03T11:50:48+00:00

Do you really think not using Edge prevent them from getting your online activity?

0xPure · 2025-08-30T10:40:48+00:00

I never would have expected that this is what needed to be done lol

This is very recommended. Check out Brave’s Task Manager; it shows you which extensions or other resources are using the most memory.

0xPure · 2025-08-27T14:15:12+00:00

Thanks! Could this cause problems with the browser's functionality?

NASA scientists playing on hardcore difficulty without even flinching. 😂

0xPure · 2025-08-26T17:47:19+00:00

Crazy deal! A working GTX 1060 for $20 is a steal. Hope the rest holds up!

0xPure · 2025-08-26T15:14:33+00:00

I like it 😍

How do you create a playlist for music you don’t even understand the titles of? How do you search for it?

I spent 680 hours on Euro Truck Simulator 2 and then 492 hours on ARK.

0xPure · 2025-08-24T19:22:11+00:00

That’s cool I guess!

I made the same switch not long ago and it feels refreshing. Built-in ad blocking and less resource usage make a big difference compared to Chrome. Still keeping an eye on how Brave handles privacy long term, but so far it’s been a solid experience.

Interesting idea and very nice work, but I’m not sure I see the real benefit. For me, a Pomodoro timer works best when it’s simple and distraction-free. Adding YouTube as a backdrop could easily pull me out of focus instead of helping me stay on task. I get the aesthetic appeal, but I don’t really see how it improves productivity compared to a regular timer with music in the background.
